       COMPUTER ASSOCIATES TENDER OFFER FOR LEGENT CLOSES
              WITH MORE THAN 90 PERCENT ACCEPTANCE

ISLANDIA, N.Y., August 1, 1995 - Computer Associates International,
Inc. (NYSE Symbol: CA) today announced the expiration of the tender
offer by its wholly owned subsidiary, VR126, Inc., for all of the
outstanding shares of Legent Corporation (NASDAQ Symbol: LGNT)
common stock at a price of $47.95 per share in cash.  The offer
expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Monday, July 31,
1995, and all shares validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn)
prior to such expiration have been accepted for payment and will be
paid for promptly.

IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company, as Depositary, has advised that
approximately 38,484,520 shares were tendered in the offer prior to
its expiration, which constitute approximately 91 percent of the
total number of outstanding shares of common stock of Legent on a
fully diluted basis. 

Computer Associates is replacing its existing $500 million Credit
Agreement with a new $2 billion Credit Agreement with a group of
banks headed by Credit Suisse.  Computer Associates will obtain all
funds needed to pay for the shares of Legent accepted for payment
in the tender offer from its general corporate funds and by
borrowing under the Credit Agreement. 

The pending merger of Legent and VR126, Inc. will become effective
as soon as practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in, and subject to the terms of, the Agreement and Plan of
Merger among Legent, VR126, Inc. and Computer Associates, but in no
event earlier than November 6, 1995.  Once the pending merger
becomes effective, Legent will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Computer Associates.

The purchase price and associated charges will be allocated among
the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of Legent based on
their fair market value at the acquisition date under the purchase
method of accounting for business combinations.  The costs of
purchased research and development for that portion of the acquired
technology that has not reached the working model stage and has no
alternative future use will be written off against Computer
Associates earnings in its second quarter ending September 30,
1995.  As previously announced, the after tax charge against
earnings is initially projected to be approximately $800 million,
or approximately $5.00 per share.
